Prime Minister Stefan Löfven made it clear on Friday that he will do everything to avoid a government crisis and the weekend is expected to be full of talks.
- The absolute strengths of the Social Democrats are that you can be pragmatic in sharp situations.
But the party will not hold direct talks with the Left Party, then it will be difficult to keep the government cooperation together, says Hans Gesteby Vindeland, former strategist at S and political adviser and investor in business.
Vindeland draws parallels to the negotiations on the las issue and believes that the Social Democrats' strategy going forward is to find a solution with the parties in the housing market.
- The political way forward right now looks very difficult, but it also did when it came to reading.
Strategy not to facilitate
Henrik Sjöholm has previously worked as a strategist for the Center Party and now works with Public Affairs.
- I would not be a bit surprised if Stefan Löfven is quite careful to keep Annie Lööf informed about what is happening and how the party thinks.
And that Löfven is very interested in how the Center views the matter.
But the Center Party's strategy, according to Sjöholm, is not to tell how to think and not to facilitate the process.
- I think you do the right thing by holding all the cards next to your body right now.
Expensive for the parties
None of the parties want the current political situation, but the Center Party is not afraid of a no-confidence vote, according to Sjöholm.
- In the center's case, there is probably also an expectation, regardless of whether it will be a "Löfven 2 government" or by-elections for an opportunity to increase their influence.
The fact that the Center Party is a rich party also plays a role.
- It is not a dream scenario for any party with two election movements within twelve months.
It will cost a penny, this risks hitting other parties much harder than the center.
